Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the case was sent to prosecutors on Tuesday. Investigators said last week the case was expected to be sent to the prosecutor’s office by the end of the week.

Williams was hit Aug. 7 crossing Plymouth Road in a pedestrian crosswalk between Nixon Road and Traverwood Boulevard. She died two days later at the University of Michigan Hospital from her injuries.

Williams, a 20-year-old native of Clinton Township, was walking from north to south and was struck in the right eastbound lane. Witnesses told The Ann Arbor News that the Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) lights at the crosswalk were activated and flashing when she was in the crosswalk.

She was struck by a green Chevrolet Cavalier. The driver of the Cavalier was interviewed by police at the scene but did not appear for a follow-up interview the next day. According to police, the woman’s lawyer told investigators she would not be speaking to them.

The woman is allowed to drive while the investigation continues and it’s now up to prosecutors to determine if there will be charges in the case. No sobriety test was done at the scene of the crash because investigators did not have a reason to believe the driver of the Cavalier was intoxicated.

Washtenaw County prosecutors confirmed the office received the case but no information was available to this point.

Williams was about to enter her junior year at U-M. She was studying in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and wanted to be a social worker, according to friends.
